README: make the Google deploy's reduced scope explicit (preview skips skills/MCP/tools)
The deploy claim was outrunning what the deploy delivers. Now states plainly,
at the provider table + a callout + the roadmap, that deploy --target google
ships prompts + coordinator/sub_agents + model ONLY and skips skills, MCP, and
built-in tools (each logged 'not mapped to Agent Engine yet'). Names the
deliberate gap between what audit reports (per-platform capability, incl. MCP
native on Google) and what deploy currently wires up. Anthropic remains the
only full-feature target; OpenAI is export/self-host (no hosted engine).

> **What "live, preview" means for Google — read this before assuming parity.** The deploy proves the *orchestration shape* is portable: a coordinator and its subagents become one hosted `reasoningEngine` that delegates server-side. It does **not** yet carry the agent's capabilities — **skills, MCP servers, and built-in tools are skipped** (each printed as `not mapped to Agent Engine yet`). So today **Anthropic is the only target with full feature mapping**; Google deploys a prompt-and-structure skeleton on a real hosted runtime, and OpenAI is export/self-host (no hosted engine at all). This is the deliberate gap between what `audit` reports (each *platform's* capability) and what `deploy` currently delivers (agentlift's preview implementation). Closing it is on the roadmap.

A deployed agent's context is exactly its own system prompt + its own (and `shared/`) skills + its own (and `shared/`) MCP servers + its inlined knowledge. The repo-root `CLAUDE.md`, a sibling agent's skills, and your machine's MCP servers **cannot leak in.**
